Here are the top three stories today in Reno:
- A 27-year-old man could face a life sentence for a fatal shooting during a 2019 Zombie Crawl in Reno. Juan Hernandez was convicted of second-degree murder with a deadly weapon in the October 2019 death of Luis Torres-Mederos, 22. Hernandez, who originally identified himself to authorities as Arthur Fleck (aka Batman villain "The Joker"), will have to serve at least 16 years in prison before being considered for parole. (KATU)
- The City of Reno and Battle Born Prodigies are partnering to offer mountain bike lessons in the community. Ronnie Schoff, the owner of Battle Born Prodigies and a level three bike instruction certified coach, will be teaching hour-long private lessons to area children and adults. A portion of the funds from each lesson will go toward the upkeep of the Sierra Vista Bike Course. Click here for more information. (KOLO)

Are you a Reno resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?
Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.
Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.
Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:
- Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
- Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
- Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Reno Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
